Three people riding autorickshaws were injured in a crash involving a speeding Audi in Mumbai this morning. This adds to crashes involving luxury cars that have sparked massive outrage in Maharashtra in the past few months.
The speeding Audi rammed two autorickshaws. The driver of one of the autorickshaws is critical. Two others injured in the crash were his passengers. Mulund police have seized the Audi but its driver is missing since the accident.
Two hit-and-run accidents involving luxury cars had sparked public scrutiny of police action against such offenders in the recent past.
Earlier this month, a 24-year-old son of a Shiv Sena leader ran over an elderly woman with his BMW. During his interrogation, Mihir Shah admitted to cops that he was drunk during that early morning drive.
In another incident, the minor son of a Pune realtor ran over two 24-year-old techies with his Porsche during a late-night drive. He, too, was found drunk. The case also exposed desperate attempts by his family to save him, which included the replacing of his blood sample.
The common belief that the wealthy - who can afford such luxury cars - escape unharmed despite committing grave offences have come under focus, sparking media attention on the two cases.
